| Summary: | The Design and Build procurement method has been credited as a viable
instrument to produce building delivery efficiency in the construction industry.
This is especially so during a economic recession where the Government needs
to inject equity into the national economy through the building of civil and
institutional buildings.
Its fast track approach helps to release monies to the various parties in
the industry but its main beneficiary is the contractor who .becomes the leader of
the team. The architect who traditionally leads the building team has been
sidelined to a mere designer with minimal involvement in the contract
administration. Claims that the architect is relieved of major liabilities to be borne
by the contractor is a faf!acy that needs to be exposed. The use of novation
could be explored as a means for the architect to play a more integrated role in
the D&B process.
Kaedah perolehan 'Design and Build' telah diiktirafkan sebagai satu cara
untuk meningkatkan produktiviti industri pembinaan. Ini memandangkan usaha
kerajaan untuk mengalirkan ekuiti kedalam ekonomi negara melalui projek-projek
pembinaan bangunan sivil dan institusi.
Sifat 'fast track' dalam kaedah ini dapat membantu kedudukan kewangan
ahli-ahli industri terutamanya para kontraktor yang menjadi pemimpin pasukan
pembinaan didalam kaedah perolehan ini. Para akitek yang secara tradisinya
menjadi ketua pasukan pembinaan, telah disisirkan perananya, menjadi pereka
semata-mata dengan pembabitan minima didalam pengurusan kontrak.
Kononnya bahawa akitek dapat meringkan beban Iiabilitinya kepada kontraktor
adalah merupakan satu persepsi yang silap. Walau bagaimanapun, penggunaan
'novation' perlu dijelajahi sebagai satu kaedah untuk akitek memainkan peranan
yang lebih mendalam bagi kaedah D&B. |
